Cellulose acetate membrane synthesis from biomass of ramie

Abstract: A new route was developed for preparation of cellulose acetate (CA) membrane from ramie fiber, a sustainable biomass. Sulfuric acid catalyzed acetylation of ramie fiber was carried out in acetic anhydride. The optimum reaction conditions were determined as ramie fiber to acetic anhydride ratio 1 : 6 (w/w), temperature 353 K, and reaction time 0.5 h. To prepare CA membranes with improved properties, CA was modified with polyethylene glycol (PEG 600, M W ¼ 600 g/mol À1 ) and tributyl citrate (TBC). The effects o… Show more

“…However, the CA of TBC‐modified biocomposites did not significantly change up to 20 wt% TBC (76°) and showed only a 10% (69°) decrease at 30 wt% TBC. This may be explained by the relatively low water solubility of TBC compared with that of PEG . Notably, TBC can form hydrogen bonds with the carbonyl groups of PLA (or WF), resulting in a layer of TBC coating on the surface of PLA and WF and leading to higher CA than that of PEG‐modified biocomposites.…”

“…The FTIR spectra of the materials, which can be seen in Figure 3, demonstrate that the transesterification process was carried out effectively. The OH group bands in the range of 3300-3500 cm -1 were shown in cellulose to be largely disappeared, and the acetyl group band, which is not present in native cellulose, was observed in the range of 1760 to 1725 cm -1 (Yang et al, 2008;Fan et al, 2009;Shaikh et al, 2009;Fan et al, 2010;Meireles et al, 2010;Loo et al, 2012;Popescu et al, 2012). The presence of two characteristic peaks is another evidence that the transesterification of cellulose was achieved.…”

“…Indeed, due to the presence of hydroxyl groups in the structure ( Figure 2 ), CA membranes have a desirable hydrophilic property [ 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 ] and thus a potential affinity for water permeation [ 51 ]. Furthermore, they are biodegradable, biocompatible, easily manufactured, cheap, and can be easily derivatized [ 47 , 52 , 53 , 54 ]. However, cellulose acetate membranes undergo hydrolytic decomposition resulting in the substitution of hydroxyl groups by acetyl groups and a decline in the membrane performance [ 55 ].…”
